Johnny pump 

New York City fire hydrants were first installed in 1808, and by 1817 flip lid-style hydrants began to appear on street corners. The term "johnny pump" is a nickname for fire hydrants that originated in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn vernacular.

johnny pump 

Johnny pump is used throughout New York City's five boroughs as a nickname for a fire hydrant in the traditional style. Siamese and more modern pipe-style hydrants are not Johnny pumps.
This term was used commonly in The Bronx and Manhattan during the 1976 Bicentennial when they were painted red, white and blue - with stars and stripes.

Children and inner-city residents use this term more than adults or Manhattan residents not originally from the inner city.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
